Kolkata RG Kar Medical Faculty Physician Rape-Homicide: To Comply with Alliance Dharma, Congress Misplaced Its Sanjeevani In Bengal | Evaluation

42 in 2011, 44 in 2016 and 0 in 2021 – The numbers that you just simply learn should not of the street accidents in a small city however the variety of seats gained by Congress within the West Bengal Meeting Elections within the final three elections. Even a Congress employee will not imagine that the final time the grand previous social gathering dominated Bengal was between 1972-77. It has been greater than 4 and half a long time because the Congress made a mark within the state. Whereas new entrants like Trinamool Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Social gathering have managed to develop a stronghold within the state, the Congress social gathering’s footmarks are disappearing identical to one thing vanishes in skinny air. West Bengal, with 294 Legislative seat, is the third largest state when it comes to MLAs and have a fare share in Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha. 

Whereas it might be a reason for concern for Bengal Congress employees or state social gathering president Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, the identical would not look like a subject of dialogue for the highest Congress management together with the Gandhi household. It is evident from the latest developments that the Congress excessive command is willingly surrendering to the Trinamool Congress and Mamata Banerjee, contemplating the ruling social gathering in Bengal a power to reckon with in counter to the BJP. Nevertheless, seeking a protect, Congress has misplaced its weapon. 

The grand previous social gathering is now on the mercy of TMC within the West Bengal and it was extra evident when the seat-sharing talks have been happening throughout the Lok Sabha polls. Mamata Banerjee not solely refused to provide a single seat to the Congress but in addition fielded a powerful candidate towards Chowdhury who misplaced the Parliamentary election because of the caste-religion equation. Banerjee has confirmed to Congress that she will not compromise in relation to her social gathering and its survival. Alternatively, what Congress has executed is simply the alternative. 

If one may recollect, the beginning of the Aam Aadmi Social gathering in Delhi might be traced to the anti-corruption and Nirbhaya protests of 2013-14 which led to Congress and BJP’s rout from Delhi. The latest case of a health care provider’s rape and homicide within the RG Kar Medical Faculty of Kolkata is being termed as one other Nirbhaya-like incident. This has ignited widespread protest nationwide, particularly by the physician fraternity and social activists. Nevertheless, Congress has taken a backseat on the problem because the incident befell in a state which is part of the INDIA bloc-led by the grand previous social gathering. Whereas Chowdhury led a protest march, Rahul Gandhi issued a refined criticism with out naming Mamata Banerjee or the Trinamool Congress immediately. To observe alliance dharma, the Congress social gathering misplaced a weapon that would have confirmed a Sanjeevani or panacea for the social gathering in West Bengal. 

A go to by Priyanka Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi to Kolkata and a keep there for demanding justice may have fuelled Congress employees’ aspirations, and morale. Whereas politicisation of such a heinous crime shouldn’t be executed, however it’s the opposition political events and media which create stress on the ruling administration to punish the culprits. Thus, Rahul Gandhi, because the Chief of Opposition, has a vital function in sending out a message to the nation that his go to to rape victims should not selective. Nevertheless, the identical was prevented to save lots of the TMC-Congress ‘not so cordial’ relationship which may have landed in additional jeopardy following Rahul Gandhi’s go to. Even Rahul Gandhi didn’t title TMC, his assertion on the RG Kar rape and homicide case has already irked Mamata Banerjee and her social gathering. The subsequent meeting elections in Bengal are two years away and this might have been a greater launchpad for the Congress social gathering’s revival within the state. Most definitely because the precedents recommend, Mamata Banerjee will as soon as once more not ally with Congress in 2026 as nicely, however the grand previous social gathering is busy constructing a fortress within the air as a substitute of strengthening its grassroots employees.
